Michael Bublé
Canadian crooner Michael Bublé celebrated his 49 years on Monday. He is this week’s reason to smile.
The multiple Grammy winner is credited with repopularizing the Great American Songbook. Bublé has been called a modern day Frank Sinatra, a moniker he is happy to shoulder, as he told me when we sat down in 2016. I remember being impressed by his impressions of his musical heroes, like Sinatra, Dean Martin, and even Johnny Cash (in a duet with me!).
Bublé has had numerous hits covering classics, such as “Feeling Good.” In the song’s video, he channels retro vibes and James Bond.
He told me that while he loves singing standards, he is most proud of his songwriting. One of Bublé’s most popular originals is the infectious love song “I Just Haven’t Met You Yet.”
Bublé is taking on a new role this fall, as a coach on “The Voice,” making this season’s group of judges an eclectic bunch. He joins country superstar Reba McEntire, pop sensation Gwen Stefani, and Olympic commentator and rap star Snoop Dogg. Good luck, Michael!

This is definitely a new take on the feeling good song. I’m not sure what he was trying to say. For me I had always pictured a beautiful sunny day with a blue sky and puffy white clouds and birds flying in the sky. I thought of it has a happy song. However, I can now picture it with a huge win from Kamala/Walz and the Democrats! It would be a great theme song for them. It’s exactly how I would feel if they won. Come on, America, kick the Don out of our lives forever! It would definitely be a new dawn and a new day and we would definitely be feeling good!
As a Canadian I know I am biased but I adore this man. From his singing/songwriting to Celebrity IOU he is just a wonderful human being! Thanks for such a lovely Sunday smile.
